It's been a week now and I've been staring across the hall seeing the new Art teacher, she is pretty well gorgeous to be exact, every time she teaches it makes me smile, she's so into her job that the kids love it "Mr. Diaz you needed to speak to me me?" I advert my eyes and look at one of my students

"Yes, I think you might have to do this draft again, you still don't have enough information on the person your writing about, when you do come to me and I'll look it over" he groans "This is going to be like the 5th time rewriting it?" "I'm sorry Alex but if you want to pass my class you need to give me all you got, other teachers wouldn't give you extra time or help would they?"

I say smirking at him "Your right.." as I was going to respond I felt a hand on my shoulder as I looked it was her, I fell off my chair making my class burst into laughter "Oh my goodness, I didn't mean to scare you so badly, let me help" she helped me up and help me clean myself and I shot a glare at my students and went quiet

"It's quite alright, what are you doing here?" She giggles and I get lost in her ocean blue eyes, her smile was breath taking and her hair made her look unique in her own way "Hey Ms Butterfly, I ran out of paint" a student of hers asked near the door "Be right there Candace" as she faced me I looked at her "Can I use your classroom phone, my phone is still out and I need supplies"

I nervously grabbed my phone and gave it to her to use, as called I noticed she sat in my chair and she smelled like cherry blossoms I smiled and looked at my students who was smirking and I ignored it "Thank you Mr. Diaz for letting me use your phone" I smirked "No problem, Ms. Butterfly" she giggles and rolls her eyes playfully "Call me Star, later" she walks out the classroom and the vice principal walks in and looks at me

"What was she doing here?" I rolled my eyes "Janna why do you care, you should be roaming the halls instead of asking questions" she giggles "I am, I actually need Adam Clearwater" he stands and walks out with her "We'll finish this conversation later" I waved and she was gone, class soon ended and I got everyone's drafts except Alex's

"Whoa, hold up" he stops in his tracks and looks at me annoyed "Theirs only 3 pages, you need 5" he nods "I can't write 5 pages, you must be crazy if you think I'll do that many" "In college I had to write 8 pages or more, your a senior Alex I want you to pass" he sighs "Alright I'll write more, oh and Mr we all know you like her" I blushed and shake my head

"What are you talking about?! She's my coworker Alex stop thinking that way" he left laughing and I walked towards the door waiting on my next class, Star came and stood by me "Hey,  I know I've been here for a week, but Alex is a good kid, he does his work well" I nodded trying not to blush or make it obvious that I like her

"Diaz, Butterfly in my office" Janna smirked and I left my student teacher in charge while I left and Star locked her door "Why are we in your office?" She looks at me and then at her "Why was she in your classroom earlier?" I rolled my eyes at her "It's not a big deal. She came to use the phone since her phone isn't working, get someone on that won't you?" She glares at me

"Man I loved annoying you in high school, taking your stuff and messing with you..and here we are working together isn't that amazing" I chuckled a bit "You have no idea" star looked out of place and I didn't blame her "I'm terribly sorry Star, me and Marco were classmates when we were younger, I used to be his little bully kinda, right Marco?" I scoff and turn towards her

"Is this all? I have a class to start" she asked "Yes, that's all I got my eyes on both of you..not go" we stood up and left her office "God I felt like I was in highschool again" she said and I looked at her "Were you always in the principal office?" She giggles and it makes my heart beat fast "Oh yeah, I was troublemaker when I was young, yelling at teachers, breaking school property and other things" I laughed a bit "So what made you come back to teach?" She plays with her long wavy hair before she answers

"I always loved art, that was the only class I had that I never skipped because I was in my own world doing whatever, that's why I came to highschool to teach art" "That's amazing, some teachers just come to get money and not bother with the lessons" she giggles and we made it to our classrooms and her students were waiting near her door "I'm sorry guys, get your things out and start, bye Marco" she gives me a smile and leaves and I wave back and enter my class all love struck "Mr Diaz?" I looked over at Emily "Yes?" She smiles

"Do you like Ms Butterfly?" "As a friend" I earned groans and laughter and I shushed them "That's off topic, go back to what Ms trotter was teaching while I grade" they nodded and ignored me, I graded papers but my mind drifted towards her, she was so different from all the other girls that work here, she actually likes her job when others don't really give a crap about it..

A couple weeks later..

It was nearing Christmas break and it was the most difficult time of year, grading papers and doing finals it drove everyone mad well the classes that had the most work, for others not really, like Star she only had two papers of multiple choice and a essay on what does art mean to you. I tried keeping my feelings away so my students don't get ideas "Hey you~, I was going to get lunch at Taco Bell wanna join?" It was my and her free period and I nodded "Sure" as we walked out the school together I saw my students smiling or whistling and I just ignored them "Seems your students love you" I chuckle "Oh yeah they do" as order our food we sat down and took off our jackets and I saw a butterfly tattoo on her wrist "I didn't know you have a tattoo?" She looks down and smiles "Yeah, when your young and reckless you do the dumbest of things"

I chuckled and our food was ready, we talked about our past and even where she was from, I actually got to know her and I wanted to ask her out but I was a nervous wreck when it came to that, I tried asking the music teacher out I got so nervous I ran into the gong and tripped over some stands and tripped over the podium her stuff was on, I twisted my ankle that day and weeks later she transferred "Hey, you coming?" I didn't realize we were back at the school "Yeah" as we were getting to our classrooms I turned towards her "Star, I..wanted..to know..uh" she looked at me confused "Yes Marco?"

"Uh..well..you see I.." I was dying here "Marco? Your face is red are you feeling okay?" She touched my cheek and I fell back against my door and banged my head "ouch" "Are you alright?" She looked at me with her eyes as they held worry "I'm fine, I wanted to ask what's your favorite color" "Odd question, but it's yellow when it's not it's usually teal" she helped me up and entered her class, as I kick the door a few students that have lunch in my room come into view

"Mr Diaz, that was really painful to watch, even worse when you tried asking Ms Thomas out 2 years ago" I groan and let them in and shut my door "I can't help it, she's pretty and amazing I'm just a mess to asking girls out" "clearly" "Jane, don't be like your mother" "Well, my mom says your very awkward when it comes to asking girls out, even when you were our age, it was very painful" they laugh and I lay back in my chair

"What can I do? I'll just be a nervous wreck when I try" "Write it in a card with flowers or something, be romantic because obviously you can't be direct with her" Jess said "Break is a week away I have to ask her out, before anyone else does" "pretend your talking to yourself when your with her, she seems pretty mellow and o love her class" "More then English 3?" Jane nods

"Sorry dude, I could vibe with art I have an A in that class, and in here I have a B not even a plus just a B my dad was so mad he took my laptop" I sigh "I gotta ask her out, and thanks for the advice girls, I'll try and Jane, I'll give extra points for helping Alex out" she nods "Thanks teach" as they banter on I look and see her writing on her board and daydream of ways of asking her out..

Next day..

I took Jess's advice and bought flowers with a small card as I went to her class the door swung open and knocked the glass vase on the floor, she jumped and covered her mouth "Oh my god, I'm sorry Marco let me get my trash can" I groan in annoyance and held on a card and a single flower as I set it aside star helps me pick up the glass slowly "I practically ruined a gift for a special lady huh?" I chuckled lightly "Somewhat, but it's okay thanks for helping me clean up"

she smiles "No problem" as we stood up I held the card and flower and she looked at me, I handed her the flower but held the card "Here, it's the only thing I could manage" she giggles and takes it "Thank you Marco" she enters her classroom and I walked towards mine and my students shake their heads "What?" They continued their work and I put my head down looking across the hall, why was I cursed with having no guts on asking girls out? As it hit my last class that had Jane and Jess and a couple others in it the girls came towards me

"So, how did it go I saw Ms butterfly holding a flower in her hair today" I scoff and rolled my eyes "Yeah she swung the door open and caused the vase to fall and crash into the floor, I only saved one flower and I have the card it's all smudged with the water" the girls sigh "It's okay Mr Diaz, you'll get it, do what I told you pretend your talking to yourself?" I nodded and sulk in my chair this was way more work when I tried asking Jackie out

Next day...

I practiced all night at my mirror and pretend that Star was me and I could ask her out, when it was our free period I walked towards her room and entered with a knock "Can I come in?" She smiles as she lays paintings on the drawing racks "Of course, what brings you here?" I felt my nerves kicking in "Well, I wanted to talk with you, if that's okay?"

She nods and sits at a table and motions me to sit "I love talking with you, so what's up?" She's so pretty I could get lost in her eyes for days "Have you ever noticed our students gossiping about us being together?" She laughs and nods "Yes, Jane tells me that all the time, she always tells me to ask but I stay put because I bet you already like someone" I blush a bit "Yeah, I do I freak out whenever I ask them out" we chuckle together before I ask her

"Star, I wanted to ask.." "Yes?" She says hopeful, it makes my heart pop out my chest almost "I-I wanted to ask..why is this hard?" "Ask?" She tilted her head giving me a sweet smile "Will you, go out with me?" I said loudly and quickly she blinks a couple times before she understood what I just said "Are you asking me out?" I nodded slowly "Oh my god, Yes of course I would!" I felt relieved and she tackles me to the ground while hugging me "I'm sorry, I'm a little clumsy" I smile up at her "I'm a little clumsy too" as we stand up she's blushing like crazy and I giggle, I finally asked her out and she said yes..

A couple months later...

As I greeted my students my girlfriend came and gave me my lunch "Thanks Babe" I kiss her quick "Aw you two are adorable" a couple students said "Yeah, I'm glad to have her by my side even if I was a mess at first" Star nods and leaves and I watch all my students either smirking kg laughing how I finally have someone to love and care for "Mr Diaz?" I looked up and saw James raise his hand "Yeah?" "How are you going to propose to her?" That's for another story..
